Any benefits to use the new "vista" power manageme

#1 Post by bigbear2007 » Wed Nov 29, 2006 6:32 pm

There are a couple of new drivers which the only change is new "vista". Are there any benefits to use them on win xp ?

The power management drivers that came with the factory preload of XP cause error messages under Vista and presumably don't function correctly. I don't know if the converse is true, but I suspect that the new drivers were made compatible with or optimized for Vista's power management system and the new BIOS recommended for Vista T60/p models.

I was much happier with Vista 5219 because I still was able to use Media Player and Movie Maker and it read all my hardware and I didnt need to install my wireless drivers :?

I only interested to know if there are any benefits to use the new xp/vista drivers for xp users.
